Alchemy Deployment and Promotion Control

Overview

Deploy an Alchemy-backed service through environment-scoped credentials, chain assertions, canaries, and rollback gates. This workflow produces a reviewable artifact and negative-path evidence before any live side effect.

Prerequisites

• Current first-party Alchemy documentation for the selected product, chain, feature, client, authentication method, limit, and lifecycle.
• Named product, application, security, data/privacy, budget, release, and operations owners appropriate to the requested scope.
• Synthetic or approved non-production fixtures, a credential canary, explicit success criteria, and a tested rollback boundary.

Current Contract

Deployment artifacts are environment-neutral; credentials, application IDs, chain IDs, allowlists, webhook URLs, and account budgets are injected per environment. A health endpoint proves process health, while readiness must prove the intended chain and endpoint family without exposing credentials or creating a transaction.

Authentication

Bind separate development, staging, and production Alchemy credentials through the platform secret manager. Deployment identities may reference secrets but may not read their values unless runtime requires it. Wallet signers remain outside the read-service deploy boundary.
